LuckyStone Professional Digital Stopwatch Timer - Handheld LCD Chronograph with Alarm, Water Resistant Sports Stopwatch for Coaches, Referees, Fitness Training & Track Events

Works just fine, and yes the instructions are in Chinenglish and a little hard to understand, so here's how to do everything: - To change the time, click Mode until the Seconds are flashing. Start resets Seconds. Split moves on to Minutes. Start sets the Minutes. Split moves on to Hours, Days, Month, and finally Day of the Week (which doesn't quite line up with the graphic on the face, but who cares?), with the Start button adjusting each item as necessary. - To change the alarm, click Mode until the Hours are flashing. Once again, Start sets the Hours, Split moves on to Minutes. - To turn on/off the alarm, click Mode until you're on the normal clock (not the setting time or alarm modes). Press and hold Split, then press Start. It will beep to acknowledge the change, and a little icon appears/disappears in the upper right to indicate if it's on or off. - To turn on/off the hourly chime, click Mode until you're on the normal clock (not setting time or alarm modes). Press and hold Split, then press Mode. Lines under the days of the week appear/disappear to indicate if it's on or off. No lines means it's off.Finally, for those who might not know about how Lap/Split timers work, you start the stopwatch with Start, then hit Split when someone completes a lap or whatever. The numbers stop so you can look at it, write it down, etc. but the timer keeps going in the background. Hit Split again and you're watching the counter again. If you find yourself unable to Reset the timer, most likely it's in this paused mode and you just need to hit Stop, then Reset.Hope that helps everyone. And no, it doesn't have a light and it doesn't turn off. It runs on watch batteries that will probably last years, and it doesn't anywhere say it does have a light. What it >is< is a four dollar stopwatch that works just fine, folks.Everything works good, but it needs to be illuminated.This is great for my job no phones are allowed in my plant this helps me take my breaks and my lunch big help thanks.Once you can figure out how to set the timer and date you will be happy with the purchase. The instructions are not easy to understand and will take you a few times to get it down. But other than that it works fine.You get what you pay for. It was so cheap, it's no wonder it comes in a cheap little box and looks, well... cheap. Uber cheap. Just like it's price.It took FOREVER to arrive by mail. It looks like it came directly from China. I'm pretty sure I mis-read the shipping description and it came a month later than expected. Yeah... a month later. But that's what you get when you spend only a few bucks.I can't give it five stars but I feel like every thing else about should have been expected.I purchased this for timing "Time outs" in refereeing Pickleball. It took me some practice to get back to the timer if I press the wrong button, but now that I am use it, I can get back to the timer quickly. Much nicer to have my own timer when I go to tournaments than trying to learn another stopwatch!Works just fine, like other users I was confused on how to configure the various features, but I found this manual which explains everything [...]I realize the manual looks like it's for a different product, but all the instructions apply. Can't beat the price, but even still, it'd be nice if they provided useful instructions or at least a link to an online manual, also the days of the week don't line up with the markings which is just silly.This stopwatch was a find. Lots of functions.Although I have used it only a few times, it seems to do the job!Only downside is the instruction manual is printed on the box which is only 3 1/4 by 2 1/4".Very hard to see and should be printed on a larger font.Shipping was quite slow from China.It is sold with a LARGE VARIATION OF PRICES. LOOK FOR THE BEST AND GO FOR IT.I use it to time my exercise - works fine - simple functionality -I honestly had no idea how to work this. It wouldn’t stop beeping even in the middle of the night. I had to throw it out but that was probably my faultIt did not meet my expectations. I was looking for a timer where I could set the number of minutes - and it would then count down and sound an alarm when the time was up, This device doesn't do that. Or if it does, I wasn't able to figure out how to do it. The instructions that were supplied were incomplete an very hard to follow.The instructions on the box are a little unclear (badly translated), and the set up is a little eccentric, but it works great and for the price was a bargain.Fidèle à la description
